How Russia blames the US for strike on Crimea | DW News

- The Pentagon flatly rejected Kremlin accusations that the US was responsible for a Sunday missile attack that reportedly killed four people, including two children, and injured some 150 more in the port city of Sevastopol on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula.
Russia claimed that US-made ATACMS missiles fitted with cluster munitions were used in the attack. It laid part of the blame on Washington, saying the arms were programmed by the US using US targeting data.
But Pentagon spokesman Major Charlie Dietz rejected the claim, saying that "Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions and conducts its own military operations."

Someone tell Russia we blame them for all the people injured or killed by AK-74s and 47s and RPG-7s.
You mean more than the 1 million women and kids dead in iraq
Did someone tell you the same thing about America, that they are being blamed for the use of the poison of the atomic bomb, forbidden kaser bombs, tanks against civilians. But you can't understand it, your brain mass is not developed enough from an overdose of hatred.

"missile attack that reportedly killed four people, including two children" - what were the military targets in this so called "warzone" you describe? If it was a warzone, why are the civilians targeted?
@@dustywoood Why are you spamming the same nonsensical comment over and over? Russia shot down the missile, it was debris that struck the beach.
Interesting... people from Crimea are going to the beach in their own town. Sooo somehow, they are on vacation in a war zone? No one in Crime considered themselves Ukrsinian nor want to be part of Ukrsine. It's interesting why the West is still pushing this narrative that Crimea is not Russia
@@foilhat1138because it is an automated Russian bot
its a crime zone. not a war zone. the crimes are funded, weapons given ,and orders and instructions given by usa. it's not hidden, for months years usa openly shows all this evidence to the public, no push back. but also same fact patterns with isreal.
Russian vacationing in an active war zone is the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. lmao
"missile attack that reportedly killed four people, including two children" - what were the military targets involved here in this "warzone" you describe?
@@dustywoood Crimea is loaded with military targets. Russia has kidnapped Ukrainian children, killed the ones the could not kidnap. Russia has no moral ground here.
@@dustywoood According to Russia themselves they shot down the missile, it was falling debris that struck the beach. The target wasn't the beach obviously, it was a nearby military target.
@@dustywoood That describes a lot of the targets Russia has hit in Ukraine.
@@dustywoood it is unfortunate that civilians were harmed but when u vacation on the beach directly adjacent to a vital and critical military base on the coastline, there are risks involved when doing so. Also the missile in question was shot down by the Russians and it was the debris that hit those civilians.
As the old saying goes: if you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.
New saying: "If you can't stand the heat then get out of Ukraine!" Putin is a war criminal on a mission of genocide against the Ukrainian people.
you forgot who won you ww2
You do realise that Russia’s nuclear arsenal can erase the life on the earth as we know it? Forget about the nukes landing to your neighbour, basically even if Russia nukes it’s own territory the fallout could send this world into a Stone Age (forget about US anti-drones, missile etc…) what we are dealing here is humanity’s life as we know it.
If that’s the case America better get out of the kitchen it allways runs when it gets hot
that was actually the Russians the us lost half million the Russians lost 20 million Americans could not handle that much

For goodness sakes. Stop burbling on about "increased escalation". It's simply repeating Russian BS.
Ukraine is NOT a NATO member. NATO should NOT participate in a war that doesn't involve its own members. At this point you are just entering the house of your Neighbour's House and putting efforts to make one side in this house defeated. This war should be fought primarily between Russia and Ukraine (without Belarus and without NATO).

This is the real world. Not some paper exercise.
@@kacperzimowski4626 NATO or EU aren't in a bubble... In case you didn't know. Using your own analogy, next door apartment is burning and obviously you want this fire to be put out because it directly affects you.
No one cares about your "should"s. This is not the world we live in
@@bismarckmark6566Sure, according to that logic, the US will also have to face the consequence of attacking Russia through proxy.
@@kacperzimowski4626 Then Russia shouldn't have illegally invaded the Crimea, and the Eastern territories. As was pointed out Ukraine was firing the missiles into their own territory.
I wouldn't typically hang out and vacation in a war zone. But I'm a Westerner and probably just don't understand
Crimea does not belong to Russia... so what's their argument again?
Russia blaming the US is like the victim of a gun shooting blaming the gun shop.
More like the perpetrator in a shooting blaming gun sellers when the cops come and shoots back.
I've never fired a gun in my life before so forgive me for my ignorance but are guns so hightech these days that they require sophisticated guidance systems operated and controlled by the gun manufacturers to aim and function as intended?
@@ooringe378guided bombs and some other high tech military weapons yes they do
@@ooringe378 You mean like the guidance for Iranian drones? Or guidance for North Korea missiles?
@@DOHCCordia Exactly, so if true and Iranian and North Korean tech isn't compatible with Russians satellite GPS targeting systems, America hold responsibility just as Iran and North Korea do. You can't aim these weapons without US direct operational contribution. His anology doesn't fit.
Did they really think they can fight a war where no enemy shoots back?
yes, they didn’t expect that their enemy is cynical enough to shoot at peaceful beach goers 🏝️
@@ibrahimtouman2279they shot the missile down, and the debree fell on the people. They admitted it themselves lmao
Any Russian escalation will be met with an increase of military support for Ukraine.

@@Jole30 And what does Russia have? They just beg the North Koreans for their stockpile from the 60's.
meanwhile production in the west is ramping up and will surpass that of Russia. It's simply economics. Logistics wins wars.

@@macfly6237 I am not Russian but for your information the goal was never to conquer Kiev..You wouldnt do that with 45 000-60 000 soldiers. Impossible..And if i know thats its a impossible mission then Putin also knew.

@@Jole30 it’s not a story the Russians retreated from both objectives and lost tens of thousands of military equipment and Russian soldiers while looking like fools. There’s no 4d chess in the entire universe that’ll make that look strategic. Because the end result was Ukraine having higher morale and ten times more Western help against Russia.
Maybe Russians should not go sunbathing on illegally anexed territory of Ukraine in the middle of a war. 🤷♂️
Maybe US stop building military bases all world and around Russia borders 😅
@@UkrainecrimesHow about the Russian and Chinese military bases?
The nearest base with nuclear warheads on Russias borders is far, far away in France, while the Russian ones are in Belarus and in Königsberg right in the center of Europe.
So please, stop the whataboutism and check the geographical and historical facts.
What a dumb comment, those beach goers who were hit are local Crimeans, its their homeland
@@VINLAND_777 The US has nukes in turkey and germany. No US nukes in france.
@@leet3207 Did I talk about US nukes? It was about permanent stations of „ready to use“ nukes like in silos and such.

Ukraine may defend its own people and land!
Russia is the invader, they want those attacks to stop then retreat your Army to you own country.
Are you even aware of what you're advocating for? From the video description itself "missile attack that reportedly killed four people, including two children". Would you mind please explaining what part is "defense" here? If you're attacking civilians / children, non military targets - what is being defended? What is this logic?
@@dustywoood Stop crying and try coping. Russia allowed its citizens to vacation in a war zone, intercepts missiles in the sky jjust above the vacationing citizens then complain about the outcome. What were Russians thinking? If they don't like the outcome its simple, don't vacation in crimea or better still Putin should leave Ukraine and all these will stop. Russia has no moral high ground here.
@@dustywoood I've already responded elsewhere but, Russia shot down the missile, it was debris that struck the beach, the actual target was military in nature. Obviously.
@@dustywoood You should ask the exact same to the Russians? What are you defending when drone strikes hit schools and hospitals in Kharkiv?
Ukraine defending itself by attacking its own people? 🤡 nice brain you got there buddy
If Putin hadn't attacked Ukraine, none of those people would be dead. Blame Putin for the loss of life
Russia's capacity to shoot itself in the foot repeatedly, whilst blaming others, is truly phenomenal.
by that logic.. had ukraine not joined NATO putin would never have attacked

it is rich and if not for the deaths hilarious, Putin blaming USA 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ummm who attacked who????
Nato provoked russia to interfere
Russia didn't attack the USA. They are the ones attacking Russia.
Russia to retaliate. Oh I can feel the fear 🙄
Russia is trying to avoid starting WWIII as much as it can, but it would be a massive mistake to take that as weakness
@ibrahimtouman2279 And nothing says "trying to avoid starting" a world war like a European country invading their neighbour. Thanks Putin!
@@hankjones3527 one of the reasons Russia invaded is to prevent WWIII from taking place by stopping NATO expanding into Ukraine (which would have guaranteed a direct clash between nuclear powers)
Well, they just downed an American Global Hawk drone.
blame everyone else but yourselves ,have a long hard look in the mirror and you will see who is ultimately responsible
Sure Tom, the US was also responsible for 9/11.
Russia's comments are the height of hypocrisy. I don't think I have to specify why for any thinking person
"missile attack that reportedly killed four people, including two children" - what is the hypocrisy here? Are you advocating and justifying military powers attacking civilians? Regardless of the side, why are you advocating for civilians to be targeted?
@@dustywoood According to Russia themselves they shot down the missile, the beach was struck by falling debris.
@@dustywoood they were not targetted. They were hit by the remains of a missile that was shot down on its way to target. I don't like it when civilians die. But Ukraine aims at military targets as opposed to Russia who has been bombing civilian targets in Ukraine for 2+ years. So for them to complain? Yes, it's hypocritical in the extreme.
The problem is... nuclear armed missiles care little about your opinions. I don't think I have to specify why for any thinking person
@@clavichord The problem for Putin is, if he tried to use nuclear weapons he'd be immediately escorted to the nearest eighth story window by the FSB.

there should be no limit on how supplied weapons are used
But Russia Said they were capable of stopping these missiles and most of them were burnt by their strike, so why are they crying 😂😂😂😂😂
Ukraine has made their own decision but the US provided the weapon striked inside Russia.
This woman is saying it is a failure of their defence so most of air defences when they shoot down an object a debris could fall mostly.
It is a strange idea to go sunbathing two kilometers away from a major military target during war time.
One day hoothi used russia supply missiles to attack US vessels same argue say by expert
No, Russia needs its own arms in Ukraine. And it needs ever more Iranian arms too, meaning less arms to the Hoothi.
"lost the last answer, out of time"?
You're recording it.
Record it again.
Uhmmm interesting, how many people on that beach think of thrmselves as Ukrainians who are being occupied
none, and after this attack their anger against YouKrain just increased
Nobody. They voted to join Russia and are free to go to Ukraine whenever they want.
The Global Hawk loitering just offshore wasn't sus at all...
I had thought that we have seen the backside of Victoria Nuland. This Cynthia Cook is a living example that the US will never run out of hawks😂😂😂
But Ukraine can't program the attacms guiding system. This is done by US troops.
Look at the adorable Russian bots trying to look tough. 😅
The Russians aren't nearly as annoyed by casualties (even civilian casualties) as they are by the fact that we aren't trembling in fear of them. It's sort of difficult to feel contempt and fear at the same time.
I want this craziness to stop both nato and Russia are crazy
Very active in allowing them to strike wherever they need, but not active in discussing heightened global tension since 1962.
She’s delusional
Why not?
Hey russia, we are waiting for your response. 😂 come try us.

Ww3 has begun
So what? Crimea is Ukrainian territory and I don't remember that Ukraine was not allowed to use foreign weapons to strike in its own soil.
Russia is losing.. that’s the reason why they are now complaining..
One of the worst things that came out of pandemic for the media are these low quality zoom calls in a-list programmes. Get the crew out and produce a proper live commentary! This interview is unfinished and unfit for airing. This cannot turn into a new normal.
thanks
Says The old lady that has a bunker under her!!
Lost the feed......"randomly"......when the discussion became military strategy?
I guess there no civilians in crimea….
There are 2 evident aspects to this:
1. If there was no war no one would be harmed (too much water has flown past that bank)
2. If Russia went all out in the war, loss of lives on its side would be limited. It is this far more gory option that is becoming more and more likely.
A third latent option is to reactivate underground assets to reinvigourate the peace process between Ukraine and Russia, deviod of the US influence , with EU as a subservient ally. If the EU goes in independently, the outcomes can be brighter.
That's what you get for trespassing
You lost cythia & cynthia lost her marbles
You can blab away all you want. The fact is, neither side can back down so escalation is inevitable and that is bad for all of us. How far will it go is what you should be asking.
Going to the beach in a warzone... smart!
But crimea is Ukraine
No one cares who you blame anymore Russia.
Almost 3 mins in, and yes the question I was thinking was answered. Crimea is still Internationally recognized as Ukraine territory. I'm getting tired of this UN not doing anything. After WW2 the idea of the UN was to negotiate and maintain peace, however if not, all nations combine to put a stop to aggression. None of this happens in 2024. Bye bye... UN you are a waste of nations tax dollars. Time for nations to allie once again and stop invasions.
Try to personally tell this to the normal people over there in Crimea, but I cannot guarantee they will react nicely towards you!
Agreed. The UN is an outdated institution that is toothless and costs all taxpayers too much. The main UN building in NY would make for a great low rent housing project to reduce the strain on the housing market.
It's not retaliation when Russia's attack is always coming with or without any Ukrainian attack
Russia can't even handle Ukraine alone, and we are expected to believe it will take on the mighty US. Tell me about it!
I love how hearing and understanding vital information is secondary to "running out of time" and keeping on schedule with nutty news stories and self-aggrandizement.
They’ll do nothing
He said she said
Ukraine has the right to defend itself from imperialist Russia!
All these criminal actions against civilians on the beach are the clear reality that Ukraine lost the war.
It is 100% U.S. fault. We supplied the warfare, partly with my tax money it did not approve.
lololol
Using american missiles kinda proves it no?
US are not just providing weapons. US also provides satellite network to identify targets, analyze the anti air coverage of that targets, vectors of approach to minimize the interception, program the missiles and are just handing the keys to the Ukrainians to drive the launcher platforms closer and hit the button.
If that makes them out of responsibility, the same can do also the Russians. Provide some latin american group with the missiles loaded with cluster ammunition to launch them from some boat to densely populated Florida beaches. They would be exactly out of responsibility as US in this case.
And maybe Russia needs to do that, otherwise the next retaliation will be nuclear.
🤦♂️🤣
russia is begging North Korea and Iran for missiles and most basic weapons and you expect them to provide something to Latin American? And why in the world would Latin America get into this mess to begin with???

US has no right to blame Russia for Crimea's annexure. This woman is laughing and saying Crimea is Ukrainian territory.... which, in fact.... it's no longer.
The other thing that bothers me is that the US is playing a big role in this conflict by giving advice to Ukraine on "how" to operate their guns.... which obviously involves their experience and knowledge about russian infrastructure and counter measures. This woman laughs, saying Russia is "wrong" because their defense systems weren't "capable".... war is not about making the guns fight....
